Scratches

the long version

Charlie, the protagonist, unexpectedly befriends the characters, which are woven throughout the book, to help them deal with their emotional scars of a failed professional sports career, abandonment, incest, cheating, job termination and so much more. The inspiring message is to help you understand your purpose and empower others to have healthier lives by overcoming pain or scratches that occur in life. We do this by forgiving others, loving unconditionally, becoming responsible, facing adversity, learning life lessons, and understanding that this too shall pass.
